The Ohio State Journal notes the rapid movement of blacksnakes gives an illusion of great length, with reports of seven to eight feet being common. A York State tale tells of a seven foot python-like snake opposing a dog, dispatched by a girl with a pitchfork. The moral: avoid exaggerating personal encounters and claim your own “seven feet” of danger.
